Reston is a densely-populated, urban suburb located about 20 miles outside of Washington, DC. It was founded in 1964 as the first modern planned community. As such, the town incorporates higher density housing while conserving open space, and it mixes use areas for industry, business, recreation, education, and housing. This careful planning gives Reston large swathes of wooded areas and several streams, but no meadows, since the town was built in wooded areas of oak, maple, sycamore, and Virginia pine. The first section of it was built around a lake.
